Description

Enabled

The Sonos Home Theater product connected to the TV (via Optical or HDMI) will start playing TV audio when the TV is turned on and the Sonos product detects an audio signal. Once enabled, TV Autoplay will continue to function even if a network connection is lost.

Disabled

The Sonos Home Theater product connected to the TV (via Optical or HDMI) will ignore the TV audio signal. Users will need to manually choose TV audio under "Your Sources" on the Sonos App, or from Browse > TV within the S1 app.
